Good (B+) — Consultancy Caliber Grade

The second-largest of the MBB trio. Strong on growth-share matrix and competitive strategy methodology. Cleaner public-record profile than McKinsey on conflict-of-interest issues. French government 2023 tax-fraud investigation produced limited material outcome. Talent quality and methodology rigor are category-leading; pricing transparency typical of MBB tier.
